It is not like this roster was littered with edge rushers going into 2014 and beyond.

Why the hell wasn't DE recruiting priority numero uno?

As the season progressed--it was visibly apparent there was nobody at DE who could rush the passer. So why then didn't Kelly and staff adapt and make this position more of a priority going forward? His thinking here aligns with his offensive approach vs all the teams in 2014 sans LSU---idiotic.

Look at the top 5 or top 10 teams in college football.

How many of them would trade their DE classes these last 2 years for ND's?
